what is this?
Does anyone use this in a completely untreated room when they do their vocals? If so, does it work well? (Kind of a vague question...sorry)

I'm really struggling here at my apartment with recording vocals. At my old house, I had built some 3' x 6' x 4" thick absorber panels and they worked great at getting a "dead" sounding space to record my vocals, but I don't have any room to store them in my 1 bedroom here. My acoustic guitars sound great in the room, but when I do vocals the room sound doesn't go over very well in the mix. Looking for a way, other than going in the other room and doing it in the closet, to cut down on that. I'm going to try a blanket that I have but I don't have any way of hanging it yet so it's going to have to wait. The closet sounds great, but on some songs I really have to watch what's going on. I've recorded quite a few instrumentals and am just now starting to put vocals to them, x amount of time later.

Any input would be appreciated! Thanks!
 
i use a reflexion filter in an untreated (other than some bass traps) room for vocals and have been happy with the results. i also use a moving "acoustic" blanket to form a semi circular barrier in back of the singer as well. though my room is untreated, it has a high and kind of sloped ceiling which helps a lot too i believe.
i use cheap mic stands to hang the blanket on. also i used to use auralex aural xpanders which helped (and are a whole lot cheaper), but obviously, they don't do as much (both due to the materials used and the space covered).
 
I have tried it and then when back to my studio and made one out of wire and a sheet of Auralex on a mic stand for $30..... I would buy the reflexion if it wasn't so over priced.

I have the Auralex Aural X-panders as well and they are quite useful.
